Steven Seagal Lawman

[Geronimo82]

Ok, the only time I have cable/satellite, is when visiting people who do. So this show:Lawman (http://www.aetv.com/steven-seagal-lawman/) caught me totally by surprise when I saw an ad for it on another website. Has he really been a Deputy for 20 years? Wasn't he claiming to be some kind of BTDT for the government at one point in his career?

[Flying Pig]

He is a Reserve. He was given the honorary position of Deputy Chief. Make no mistake, the show is about Segal and his custom patrol car. I thought it was odd that Segal NEVER drives. He has his Captain driver shuttle him around. Neat how a Reserve (no offense to them) is in the middle of every hot call holding up the suspects confiscated weapon giving commands.

Nothing is funnier than watching a cop in the movies clear a corner with the rear sight of their pistol against their eye! Good job chief Segal, could you show me how to do that without shattering my eye socket. I guess its hard to draw a line between real and Hollywood induced tactics. I dinged a trainee for Poor Officer Safety on a Daily Eval for doing that and not being able to explain to me why it was a bad idea.

Now what I will give Segal is that he has been an active Reserve for 20 yrs and they are just now coming out with a show, so I think his intentions are solid.

I dunno...maybe Im to harsh. But I think Id take my ol' beat partner any day.

[bobofthedesert]

Maybe I'm too harsh.

I don't believe you are.

I like it when they go into a room, with their pistol pointed to the sky,lol.

In 1988 Warner Bros. gave Seagal a shot and cast him in Above the Law, a low-budget cop flick that grossed nearly $19 million.

While promoting that film, Seagal gave an interview for the Los Angeles Times in which he obliquely referred to work he'd done for the CIA in Japan. "They saw my abilities, both with martial arts and with the language," he said. "You could say that I became an advisor to several CIA agents in the field and through my friends in the CIA, met many powerful people and did special works and special favors."

According to Vanity Fair, his first wife stated flatly, "He was never in the CIA."

Undaunted by public skepticism, Seagal made further claims, saying at various times that he was a superb rider, a deadly marksmen, an authority on antique samurai swords, and fluent in four languages. His third film, which co-starred LeBrock, was called Hard to Kill, but to many in the Hollywood community, the newly minted star was becoming hard to believe.

Seagal apparently began to believe his own press. On the set of one movie, he challenged a stuntman, who was a black belt in judo, to try to choke him out, a judo technique in which pressure is applied to the carotid artery in the neck until the victim is rendered temporarily unconscious. According to one source, Seagal claimed to be impervious to the technique. He was wrong. The producers of the film became frantic when they saw their NBA-sized star lying unconscious on the ground.

I don't have much love for the guy


According to Gokor this took place on the set of "Out for Justice" where Segal was using a Brooklin accent and did a stick fight w/Dan Inasanto-who also tels thsi story. Well Segal was being a dick to the stuntmen, but that is his normal behavior according to them. Well he is talking about how bad he is and the stuntment say "Yeah, well we got this old guy back here who could choke you out!" and Segal stated that nobody coulod get close to him to choke him out he also had never heard of Judo Gene LeBell before that encounter. Well Gene came over and said that he could choke him out and and Segal said that he couldn't so Gene grabbed him real quick and started to choke him. Segal tapped and said that that wasn't fair he was talking and wasn't ready for Gene. So Uncle Gene waited for Sega to get "ready" and when he said that he was Gene grabbed him and started to choke him out and Segal coudln't do nothing w/the old guy. Well Gene was pissed off because Segal was being very rough for no reason on the stunt guys when doing the fight scenes w/them and was upset becuase Segal said he wasn't ready and woul;dn't admit that Gene hooked him so as Uncle Gene would oput it "there is 2 ways to choke a person out, one way the ygo out nice and wake up ok, the other is they go out quick and they piss and crap on themselves" Gene did the latter! Then he drug Segal over to a closet and put hi in there uncouncious. When he came to everybody was cracking up and he went and changed his clothes and fired Gene and his guys. Gene has not worked on another Segal Movie since.

I haven't heard much to respect the guy for.

It was "Judo" Gene Lebell. If memory serves me correctly a former board member was a witness to this confrontation, in which Segal basically called out Lebell who was minding his own business during a break on the set. "Judo" Gene choked out Segal who literally pissed his pants. Afterword (again my recollection) Lebell agreed that he would not discuss the incident, but there were enough witnesses present that the story just couldn't be kept secret.

Nope Segal isn't as badass as he'd like the public to think.

[Papa Smurf]

If shit were snow, Seagal would be an avalanche..

You want a real TV guy that kicked ass as a LEO - Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell on Leave it to Beaver; 1960's). The guy was a real police officer after his stint on TV and has three in the chest to prove it!

[Flying Pig]

Is it me or does his "patrol" shift seem to have more brass working on it than the Pentagon? Everyone of them has stars, bars or birds.

I cant wait for the episode where I get to watch Seagal spend 3 1/2 hrs sitting at some 80 yr old ladies kitchen table going blind sorting through a sea of cancelled checks and bank statements after her care taker ripped her for everything she had. While in tears she talks about how she doesnt have any money to buy groceries now or pay for her medicine.

Im wiling to bet his "team" doesnt handle many barking dog calls either.

Damn bro, you can do that in a helo? You da man ;).

No, not in the helo. It blows the paperwork all over the place!:biggrin:

[Dirtpuppy]

I just watched it, I laughed the entire time.

[skyhawk691]

I watched tonight's show and it was entertaining to a point.
About what I expected from a Hollywood Actor.
At least his heart is in the right place giving those "Training Classes"
to fellow Officers and cadets.

[MrPotatoHead]

Guess I'll have to miss that one.

[sfmedicw9]

all that blubber over his sidearm helps with weapons retention. maybe he should start thinking about a thigh holster.

not too keen teaching street cops that particular technique for a disarm - anything past two gross motor movements tend to get fucked up when stress is present

unless your a dojo rat

[iraqgunz]

I heard that stuntman story a few years ago from someone I knew in the business. I though it was BS until now. As for the show- it's right on par with "Dog the bounty hunter".

[Virgil Tibbs]

Hey Hey, dont bring Dog down to that level. Dog at least IS a bounty hunter. Seagal as mentioned earlier is a avalanche of shit.

[OS3]

It reminded me of when Estrada, Stratus, Osbourne, Jackson and Little Man came here to Muncie and rode as Reserves (Armed and Famous) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0921875/). They put one of the Detectives (fairly nice looking blonde) and several other pencil types back in uniform just to be on TV. They were extra units and only responded to the hot calls. A couple of the busts were staged for TV, it was horrible and got cancelled. It was nice to see Trish Stratus around town though....

[riptide]

Seagall is an assbag. He is so fat he cannot tie his own shoes. I am serious, my buddy just got done doing a movie with him, and he has people who tie his shoes for him.
He does none of his stunts, does no choreographing, and is allowed to only be filmed from the neck up. Body doubles do all the other work.

That and his never ending negative screaming tirades against workers around him, and you can see he is living in his own made up Hollyweird world.

He still sucks.

[Massgrunt]

He will get my support and kudos if he was there policing after Katrina.

He actually did go to Katrina. I met a South Carolina sheriff's deputy that was burdened by his assistance down there. His stories about Seagal were hilarious, as was his dead on impersonation. Essentially, Seagal was a terribly out of shape prima donna who believes he's a character in one of his movies.

[billdawg]

Yeah, but he loses points by having that fat piece of nasty flesh as a wife on the show. I'm not one to usually downgradde soemone's spouse, but she's just hideous.

[Flying Pig]

^ Yeah, but at least SHE does her own stunts!

Sighs. My whole image has been destroyed. Well, at least he went and provided entertainment :).

[grog18b]

I wanna know what happened to his face? It looks like he was placed head first in an extrusion machine.


Oh, and his show is ghay.

[Jazz]

This has to be the best quote in the world:

"I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day, rather than a sex symbol." - Steven Seagal

[Local]

The rest of the choked out story is that after he went down, after he umm.. lost bowel control... he woke up .. didn't really know where he was .. and started trying to hit on some girl on set.

Thats right. Seagal the sex symbol.

[iraqgunz]

So was I for 4 years. Had I tried to snatch people the way he and his retard family do things I would have starved to death and been laughed out of every office I walked into.

Pepperball guns, body armor over their trashy attire, high profile vehicles that stick out like a sore thumb, I could go on and on....

He uses pepperball guns because he is a friggin convicted felon and can't own a gun. I can't see how he escapes Hawaii alive. Surely if he had tried that 'Brah' shit with locals with no cameras present they would have dissected him.

[Purple36]

I've always thought he was gay. Never liked him or his movies

[Lannister]

I'm looking forward to the report that someone ventilated his dumbass cause they thought he was armed with a gun... pointed it at them and they "feared for their life"... :cool:

[TC Strat]

I used to think Kelly Le Brock(sp?) was the hottest thing on heels!
Till Seagulls fat ass got a hold of her. Now she's stuck on these cheesy group therapy shows trying to re-invent her self esteem. I'm pissed at him bout that.

Aikido shmido. Work the streets for several years as a lowly patrolman, missing X-mases, birthdays, experiencing abject terror and all the wonderful colors and aromas of bodily fluids first before trying to claim yourself as any sort of lawman.

There I feel some what better now.

aloha

[Spinner]

He forgot 'runs like a 14 year-old girl.'

Come to think of it, I've never seen him run in any movie since he did Above The Law.

I'd never heard the story of him getting choked out on his own movie set, but I believe it.

A friend of mine who started martial arts at a young age, and got to be pretty good at several different forms by the time he graduated college, wound up working in the Bay area after college.

He liked to hang out and watch these old folks, all Chinese, practice Tai Chi near his office and got to talking with one of the oldest of them one day, and mentioned his own background in MA, but conceded he'd never studied Tai Chi.

The guy invited him onto their practice field and told him he could try any aggressive move toward him, and my friend went half speed the first time and wound up flat on his back. The old guy told him to come at him full tilt the next time, and the time after that, etc.

The end result was always the same, and in parting the old guy said something like "I like your style, what little there is of it", with a smile.

Gives meaning to that old saying that age and cunning (and a lifetime of training) can overcome youth and exuberance any day. ;)

[Kip]

He uses pepperball guns because he is a friggin convicted felon and can't own a gun.

While that is true, I heard somewhere that "they don't believe in using guns"

*cough* bullshit *cough*

Every time I think of Dog I always think of that snippet of a TV show on bouty hunting I saw where one of them held up a collapsible asp and said they would shove it up his ass sideways. Still makes me laugh.

[RAT]

100% pure entertainment.

Sort of like Cop's but with an actor who I know.

Uh-oh. I smell an impending crossover!

I'm still waiting for Dog the Bounty Hunter to crossover with Growing Up Gotti.

[BertF]

It really is an awful show. I watched the first two but I will not watch it again. After a while I started counting the number of time that he reminded us of his martial arts training and it turned out to be about 4 times per show. Maybe even worse is the Jesse Ventura show. At least I made it through Seagal. I could only take about 15 minutes of the nonsense on Jesse's show.

They could do the same thing with the Kung Fu series. Instead of Caine being able to snatch the pebbles, he'd be required to avoid the kick in the nuts.

In a couple of more years, Steven Seagal can start taking over the roles that were reserved for Leslie Nielsen later on in life.

They may not have invented it, but they sure got named for it.

We're always glad when we see proper handling techniques in the entertainment industry. You can sort them from 'have mil advisors' and 'don't.'

As for Segal, I've never liked him. His voice is weird and his acting stinks. If the DH wants to watch him, he's got to do it alone. As in no one is home but him.

I've been watching some old noir and 50s films lately, and Nielsen seems to be popping up in a bunch of them, deadpan acting his way through every scene. And not for laughs. :biggrin:

So, I'm experiencing some cognitive dissonance right now when it comes to Leslie Nielsen. And someday, when Steven Seagal is making us laugh in a bunch of comedies that play off of his persona from the 80s and 90s, we'll have Leslie Nielsen and Lloyd Bridges to thank for it.

[Graphic Ed]

Don't forget his work in Creepshow (which coincidentally also featured another underrated actor, Ed Harris, in an early role). His dad was some kind of badass and famous RCMP officer, and extreme disciplinarian, if I remember correctly, and Leslie actually grew up in frontier outpost type areas. It was one of the reasons they got him for that part on Due South.

And someday, when Steven Seagal is making us laugh in a bunch of comedies that play off of his persona from the 80s and 90s, we'll have Leslie Nielsen and Lloyd Bridges to thank for it.

I don't know. That could be said of any of the movies (and the Mountain Dew commercial) he's already made since 2000. :biggrin: I remember when a trailer for Exit Wounds (and pushing out a turd that big would leave them) came on, as soon as Seagal appeared on screen, everybody in the entire theater groaned and laughed. Van Damme at least is able to have a sense of humor about his lack of talent and a career, to the point of playing himself and being killed on an episode of Las Vegas. :eek:

[ichabod1515]

I wonder how many times in an episode he can say "I’ve been in martial arts my entire life"? I did find it very funny when he was in the indoor range that he had to wear his hearing protection upside down so not to mess up his hair.

[Tripnastic]

The best part of the show was the opening credits when he says "I'm Steven Seagal. That's right- Steven Seagal."

Then 5 minutes in during a pursuit, the driver tells him to shut up and let him drive.

[DC Photog]

I watched the first episode, he keeps on going on about keeping his brothers that he loves safe and being able to see things before they happen and all kinds of zen stuff.

It must just be me, but he doesn't seem to be wearing a seat belt in the SUV as they drive around.

I don't have the equipment for it, but somebody should take that minute long montage of him running in a couple of his movies, make them slow motion, and then set it all to the theme from Chariots of Fire.

[Walken1]

Watched both episodes on a&e on demand. Wow. According to him he's been a cop for 20yrs; but just now revealing it.
Not sure which part I enjoyed more. 1. 8 officers have suspect on ground and in custody and Seagal runs in from nowhere, after the fact, yelling "taser"?
2. Seagal sees two black guys in a parked car and uses his zen/jedi mind weapon to establish probable cause. Turns out 2 dudes minding their own business are cut loose due to no crime only after being infinitely blessed by the wisdom Seagal bestows upon them.

I have since purged my dvd collection of all things Seagal.

[~wifey]

zen/jedi mind weapon

ROFLMHO...that's fantastic. Thanks for the good laugh!

[Chewedup331]

I can't help myself but I have to ask. Did anyone notice in the first episode during target practice that they were saying he was 30 and 40 feet away when he was clearly more like 6 to 10 feet away?

[Kip]

zen/jedi mind weapon

Another thing about the show I hated. What the fuck was the point of that slow-motion looking through his eyes shit? The first time I saw it used I was thinking 'yea, whatever.', then they did it again and again and I just starting rolling my eyes. They must have done it six or seven times in the first episode.

[bobofthedesert]

I can't help myself but I have to ask. Did anyone notice in the first episode during target practice that they were saying he was 30 and 40 feet away when he was clearly more like 6 to 10 feet away?

Let me guess, he couldn't shoot......:rolleyes:

[Chewedup331]

Well actually he was hitting the target but he was touting his "skill" (I made sure I put quotes on that) as a master shooter to another member of his department. He was about a close to those targets as I sit to my t.v. in my living room not 30 to 40 feet away as he might have told the camera crew. How do I know, because the silhouette target he was using was the same size as him from the camera angle.

[Outofcontrol]

Tore up...from the floor up.

OOC, out

[Dirtpuppy]

I may be the only one, but I think the show is perfect. Once you get out of your head that this show cannot be taken seriously, then one will truly start to enjoy it; Seagal said that. Hollywood cant write comedy like this, even if they tried. Im looking forward to the rest.

"Dont shoot the gun, push the bullet out..." hahah

[Walken1]

Let me guess, he couldn't shoot......:rolleyes:

Define shoot haha

He was hitting the target and grouping his shots....but at 10feet with a custom 1911 hellen keller could do that.
He demonstrated his draw stroke once and swung the weapon up...I hope the department is seeking other instruction.
Never saw him do anything else...mag changes, weak hand, move and shoot, etc....
He is a self-proclaimed master shooter?!? What does that mean? Have they established a belt system in IDPA that I haven't heard of?

[Flying Pig]

What makes you an expert?



The fact that you are from out of town and brought a Power Point presentation.

[Raider Rakkasans]

You are ALL a bunch of HATERS! SS is the man and is part of a lineage that Chuck Norris, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Arnold are a part of. Where is your respect!? You should ALL be ashamed of the statements that have been made on this thread and should pray for forgiveness. May the Action Heroes of old forgive you ALL!

I love the show, makes me happy and warm and fuzzy inside.

[Walken1]

What makes you an expert?


I never claimed to be an expert. I also never claimed to be a "master shooter" either.
I obviously don't know as much on the subject as most of y'all, but I know not to swing a weapon up from a holster and I know there's more to tactical shooting than standing ten feet from a target and hitting it.

To be clear, there is no sarcasm in this. I'm just questioning whether or not Steven Seagal is qualified to teach combat shooting to LEO's whos lives may depend on it.

[Sniper111]

I'm just questioning whether or not Steven Seagal is qualified to teach combat shooting to LEO's whos lives may depend on it.

Based on what I've seen...... Not just no but HELL no, no way, nien, nyet, fuck no, no fucking way, not even if hell freezes over.

[mdb23]

The weapon retention techniques he utilizes are, in my opinion, outdated and dangerous. The editing, which implies jedi like mind tricks and psychic capabilities, is absurd.....

The firearms training is weak....and WTF is up with the Captain who was afraid that he wouldn't be able to pass a basic qualification. Wow.

The officer safety is terrible...."Anybody pat these guys down?" Nope. Wow, that dude was standing next to you with a gun for 5 minutes while you yapped.

Worst of all, that hybrid Nawlins accent that he tries to pass off....."Along with some of the finest office-uhs on the faw-usssss.."

So yeah, I set a season pass for it on TiVo.........:biggrin:

Anybody check out this month's maxim mag?

Here's a Q and A interview with Mr. Seagal....(No, i'm not making this shit up)

Q:What's an average night for Deputy Sheriff Steven Seagal?
A:We patrol and listen to the radio for the bad stuff: bank robberies, kidnappings, murders, armed robberies in progress. Those kinds of things.


Q:You were in New Orleans right after Katrina, right?
A:Yup, and I saw shit that I wouldn't want to tell you. Every day I got to save somebody's life. Every day I got to jump bad guys who were trying to rape and kill. People have said, "In my darkest hour, my moment of light was when Steven Seagal rescued me"

Q:You make plenty of money fighting bad guys in movies. Why the hell are you risking your ass?
A:I love doing something thats really helping people who are suffering, who are about to get raped or kidnapped. I come from a background where I was a warrior. Acting is just something to pay the bills.

Q:How often do you get recognized mid-bust?
A:When I'm kicking in a door with five guys carrying machine guns, they don't know who the hell it is. After everybody's handcuffed, then maybe 50 percent of the people say "holy shit, is that Seagal?"


Q:Do the bad guys ever ask for an autograph?
A:It happens all the time. It's the funniest thing.


Q:Has word spread through the hood that Steven Seagal is patrolling the streets?
A:I don't want to sound egotistical, but when word gets out that I'm in town, crime goes down.


I may not be an expert on combat shooting, but I'm going to just throw it out there that I'm an expert on Steven Seagal's douchebaggery.

[Raider Rakkasans]

YES!!!!! mdb23! My man!!! Welcome to the Familia brother!!!! Welcome!!!!

[Raider Rakkasans]

Anybody check out this month's maxim mag?

HOW CAN'T YOU LOVE THIS!!!??????

[smittycolt]

I'd rather watch a sincere Special Needs guy like Flava Fave, or whatever that jackass' name is, for an hour than a poser like Seagall for two seconds.

That idiot makes my butt scrunch up with embarassment.

[greenwarrior1]

Chuck Norris would kick his ass.

[Walken1]

HOW CAN'T YOU LOVE THIS!!!??????

Oh don't get me wrong....it's being dvr'd. It's definitely more entertaining than that sham-wow fucker.
I just can't imagine being that disconnected with reality.

Maybe we'll get the chance to watch the zen/jedi/shooting master attempt to telepathically stop a bullet. Now that shit would be Emmy worthy.

[Wintersmith66]

Without having ever been near this guy, I still fly the bullsh!t flag on both of these statements. :biggrin:

[mdb23]

Im surprised that Jefferson Parish carries "machine guns." :biggrin:

I wonder if that was simply a poor choice in terminology by Seagal....which would be rare, since he is a master of "wordology."

[KidA]

"When I'm in town, Crime goes down" has me uncontrollably laughing at my desk and people looking over the walls wondering why.

[Blackjack78]

HOW CAN'T YOU LOVE THIS!!!??????

I'd work with his bad self!! His accent is so fooked up. Bad enough he tried to have a Brooklyn one in his movie(s) now this. It's like Commissioner Gordon having the Batlight, they let the word out that Segal is working and crime takes a day off lol You coppers should try that Zen shooting shit, push the bullet down range bro.

[Walken1]

He's sure doing a shitty job for tourism.

"Hey come visit jefferson parish...where there's a 100% chance that you'll be raped, killed, and kinapped EVERY DAY!"

[Blackjack78]

Chuck Norris would kick his ass.

He sure would, he would go all Texas Ranger on his ass lol

[Dirtpuppy]

HOW CAN'T YOU LOVE THIS!!!??????

Im with you, this show is great.

[KidA]

But Clint Eastwood in "Every Which Way But Loose" would kick both their asses.

[xxlranger]

I can honestly say, "I LOVE THIS SHOW!"

There is not a second of it that is not immensely entertaining.
It should be renamed "Steven Seagal:AWESOME!"

Sitting in rollcall covered in flopsweat? Awesome!
No seatbelt? Awesome!
Rangetime, wearing a do-rag, douchebag Affliction shirt with huge pit stains, Ultraman shooting glasses? Awesome!
Wearing his vest over his uniform with a metal badge pinned to it? Awesome.
Constant display of ignorance of the law? Awesome!

I have watched the first 2 episodes a couple times each. It's like "Airplane!"... the more you watch it, the more funny stuff you pick up on.

I want back hair like Chuck...;)

Stevie Seagull is not even close to Chuck!:p

[Raider Rakkasans]

Chuck Norris would kick his ass.

No he wouldn't, he doesn't know how to push rounds down range. No Zen in Chucko.

[Local]

what I wouldn't give to watch Stewie try to foot chase a perp down the street.... I wonder what kind of excuse he'd make up for standing there wheezing while the guy got away?

He's obviously a DARK JEDI, STRONG in the ways of the force! We'll need the WHOLE DEPARTMENT for this one guys!

then some rookie cop would run the guy down and cuff him, and stevie would come running into the frame 7 minutes later shouting "I'M INCAPACITATIATIATING HIM WITH MY MIND!"

or you know, someone to throw a rear naked on him, choke him out, and cut his pony tail off....

- Local, feeling particularly vicious today... income tax exam at 9:30 tomorrow morning.

[Spinner]

Q:What's an average night for Deputy Sheriff Steven Seagal?

A:We patrol and listen to the radio for the bad stuff: bank robberies, kidnappings, murders, armed robberies in progress. Those kinds of things.

Naturally, they just ignore all the relatively mundane calls that come in.

[Carl Spackler]

No he wouldn't, he doesn't know how to push rounds down range. No Zen in Chucko.

What crap. Re calibrate your gay-o-meter boyo...Chuckie would kick Seagulls ass in a fight. Stevie's face would swell up after one punch and his eyes would completely disappear.

[Raider Rakkasans]

Dude wake up and smell the coffee. Chucko would get his ass handed to him so bad that the only job he would be able to do is that infommerical on the Total Gym, from a laying position. Don't get me started with Jack Bauer!

[Kip]

People have said, "In my darkest hour, my moment of light was when Steven Seagal rescued me"


This is fucking funny as hell. Jesus, Seagal is a bigger douchebag than I originally thought.

[Carl Spackler]

WTF...damn well Chuck would call in back up in Billy Joels x crone Christy Brinkly and tag team Stevie into a lotus position with his head in his own ass...wait...it already is...see Chuckie ROCKS!

[billdawg]

I read the first one, and I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever read, then I saw the last one,lol. WHat a douchebag.

[Walken1]

New trailer for Seagal Lawman

At least it's what I would have chosen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBY87ZfezPE

[Flying Pig]

I never claimed to be an expert. I also never claimed to be a "master shooter" either.
I obviously don't know as much on the subject as most of y'all, but I know not to swing a weapon up from a holster and I know there's more to tactical shooting than standing ten feet from a target and hitting it.

To be clear, there is no sarcasm in this. I'm just questioning whether or not Steven Seagal is qualified to teach combat shooting to LEO's whos lives may depend on it.

Sorry man, I was making joke. But I can see how it looked like I was responding to your post.:o

[Flying Pig]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBXto7EBOqY

WTF-Over? You have a felon with a gun and your searching for him and the covering him with your TASER when you find him?

I like how they imply at the end, that all the guys walking down the street were coming to try and kill the arrestee detained in the back seat of the car. And that Seagal had the sixth sense to know this and save the suspect. Ummm, or could they have just been walking down the street to see what you guys were doing with their homie?

And what the hell is it with this guy who supposedly cant shoot? Dude, raise your chiin and show some freaking pride in yourself. These are supposedly real events, but I find it odd how the cameraman has the ability to show up an scene first and get his equipment set up before Deputy Chief Steve arrives. This show makes the officers look a bunch of trainees who are totally dependent on Seagal for instruction.

[Blackjack78]

I heard from a good source that Chuck killed Hoffa with a spinning roundhouse that knocked his head clear off. They then used the head for the kickoff at Giants Stadium.

[Walken1]

Sorry man, I was making joke. But I can see how it looked like I was responding to your post.:o

haha.... Reading back I see that. This whole thread should be moved to the humor section.

[Walken1]

Do you know why there are only four horsemen of the apocalypse? Because Chuck Norris decided to walk!
Chuck Norris' watch has no numbers...It just says 'time to kick ass'

[Carl Spackler]

OK...change the thread to Chuck Norris quotes....scare away the Seagull!;)

Chuckie says...allow me to quote...

Violence is my last option.

People whine, 'I haven't succeeded because I haven't had the breaks.' You create your own breaks.


Chucko doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

Chuck Norris sweats Gatorade, and He once inhaled a seagul!:eek:

[RedDawg_03]

Holy crap! Where can I get me some of that "zen vision"?

[KSM]

When I'm kicking in a door with five guys carrying machine guns

Why's Seagal trying to act like he's special? Anyone who watches Cops knows that every LE Officer kicks in the door of "5 guys carrying machine guns" at least twice a shift. What's the big deal? :rolleyes:

[Raider Rakkasans]

“I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day, rather than a sex symbol.” -Steven Seagal quote

YES!!!! FEEL THE ZEN, EMBRACE THE ZEN!!!

[Raider Rakkasans]

It is on right NOW!!! Attack dogs that he trains himself! wow this guy is amazing!

[xxlranger]

He runs code to a 911 hang up... AWESOME!

He found a sawed off shotgun on a perp, and stopped his search to parade it around... without securing the suspect... AWESOME?

LOL, I watched two episodes last night. It was double compound gay.

[Carl Spackler]

LOL, I watched two episodes last night. It was double compound gay.

Me too and all you fucks that lured me...DIE.

Did you notice he wasn't really playing the guitar?

Who gives two shits about his dogs?! I hope they maul his fatass and eat his face off.

The "fake" accent? I will never shake that from my head ever. What a douche!

The other coppers were hating dragging his fatass around....

I give it two supergays and a Chuck Norris roundhouse to the face.

[RedDawg_03]

I couldn't believe that I watched it last night. When he found the shotgun and turned himself away from the badguy, instead of alerting everyone else that he had found a weapon and that the ones they were dealing with might have weapons I shut it off.

[Scotty]

Wow. Really? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Really! If you have enough rounds/time. :biggrin:

[ghostiger7]

True but have you seen the guy shoot?

[Flying Pig]

I would love to get the inside skinny on the "team" he rides around with on what they think. In one episode, they were in a neighborhood and everyone was crowding around trying to see Seagal and that Colonel blurts out, get in the truck and lets get out of here. Seagal immediately heads for the vehicle. It was almost like they had an agreement that "Hey, you can play your part, but when I tell you how its going to be, you do it."

All of the slow motion, close up shots of Seagals eyes are a little much. Total Hollywood affect like he somehow "knows" something the others dont.

I dont know about you guys, but I am going to start hitting the beat with my yellow shooting glasses. Oh wait, I dont own any yellow shooting glasses!!!!

[grog18b]

"To a police officer, a sawed off shotgun is the ultimate nightmare. You can blow someone in half!"-Steven Seagal

Huh... and here all these years my ultimate nightmare was ending up back with my ex-wife...

[bobofthedesert]

I think he's THEIR ultimate nightmare.....

[Walken1]

Question for the LEO's on socnet:

I couldn't help but watch the trainwreck that is the Seagal Lawman marathon tonight and I saw the "sawed off" scene.
They found an illegal weapon that was possessed illegaly, and in the presense of coke/crack.
One guy was let go under "counseled and released" and the other guy was just charged with possession of a concealed weapon I believe.
I understand these fine "kids" were only 17, but wtf?
Is that the way that should have been handled? Do you agree with letting one guy go completely, and hardly charging the other?

I can understand throwing a joint away, or making a kid pour out his budweiser..etc And I don't neccessarily believe in speeding tickets or seat belt fines........

But a sawed of shotgun and crack? He wasn't carrying the shotgun for his upcoming goose hunt.

I would just like to read the opinions of the guys who deal with these things.
thanks


edit to add: Has anybody seen the reviews he's getting? Outrageous. People are eating this shit up. Guess we know who's taking over Oprah's old time slot. People baffle me.

[billdawg]

I watched a couple shows last night, basically because everyone here said it was entertaining, even if only in a train wreck sort of way.

Here's what I learned.
-Steven Segal thinks a lot of himself
-He must be 'high ranking' as he has two stars on his epulet.
-The weird eye thing is uber, fucking, GAY.
-Him going to the childrens hospital and doing the benefit concert for them was cool, good on him for that.
-Now my 10 year old son, thinks this is a great show. Which means I'll have to watch it with him, so I can use it as a teachable moment,lol.

[Malpractice]

True but have you seen the guy shoot?

Yes, he almost.... almost key-holed a target standing less than three yards away and extending his arm a yard. It's mind bottling!!!! Defies physics!!!!!
Except he didn't key-hole it. He had a tight 2 round grouping standing in front of a stationary target and the idiot he was shooting with was a horrible shot with absolutely no ability to shoot a grouping.

My favorite quote was "Don't tell me how to drive Steve" while they are driving in 2 unmarked subs with a team of 5 people "running hot"

[Scotty]

Apparently, he doesn't get paid for his time with the NOPD and he really has been involved for 20 years. Good on him at least for that part, if not for cashing in on it now...

The rest is cheese.

I haven't watched this fine show, but to answer your question...if the one juvenile had nothing on him then yes he walks. The other juvenile gets charged with the crack and criminal use of a weapon (having a firearm while commmiting a drug crime). The case would also get copied to our ATF liason to see if they wanted to charge for the sawed-off shotgun. :biggrin:

[Tripnastic]

-He must be 'high ranking' as he has two stars on his epulet.

On the show they're saying he's a (Reserve) Deputy Chief.

[Flying Pig]

Thats like in my agency, we have Reserve Sgts and Lts and a Reserve Capt. They were in briefing one day and I had no idea they were reserves. I asked one of the guys who they were and NOBODY knew. Our reserves can only assist on calls or trans to the jail. No proactive stuff unless its unavoidable/emergency and no paper. We dont want our unpaid reserves sub'd to court for months on end with no way to pay or compensate them. Every once in a while they may get mentioned in a report but the DA's are good about it.

[Blackjack78]

Jax Desmond employs agents that can kick Steven Seagal's ass. I bet the one's that get a certificate from a certain Israeli Counter Terrorism course, advanced version, can kick Chuck's ass. Crossthread points:).

[Wintersmith66]

This is the most entertaining reality show I've seen in a while. The man does indeed think highly of himself.

[saintsfan]

Jefferson Parish is right next door to us, and I talked to some deputies about the show. Apparently all the chase stuff is all recreated. And when someone is getting booked the deputies have to call them, and when they 10-97 and set up the camera, Seagal cuffs them..

AHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH.....I havent watched more then 10 minutes of the show but what district are they working with Segal? And do you think Harry Lee would have let this happen if he were still sheriff?

[Lagnaippe]

...too funny (sort of). As if the show itself wasn't bad enough.

I am always amazed at the lenghts some people will go to for notariety and this is no exception. I pass by the house in question everytime we go to our "fishin' camp" but I never saw any indications of hanky panky while he was there.

Since we are on the topic of Steven Seagal and there are lots of TRUE, REAL LIFE vetted SEAL's here. What do you guys think about his portrayal of a Navy SEAL in some of his other movies? Like Under Siege? Does he make you guys proud?

Sheriff Joe's posse would be such an agency... I don't speak for them all but for the one's I have personally met and spoke to... Seagull fits right in.

[xenonburnout]

If you go the the web site of Sheriff Joe's posse you will see that this is a voluntary organization with few qualifications required to be one.

[sb73]

Read this thread yesterday and then this morning I saw this

http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/blog/article/246158/puppy-shot-on-steven-seagal-show.html

Looks like Seagal showed up at this guys house in full riot gear on a tank and shot the guys dog and several roosters. The article says Seagal and company thought the roosters were being raised for cockfighting so they shot them. :confused: No reason was given for shooting the 11 month old dog. Everything was recorded for the show. The guy is suing Seagal and the show for damages.

Don't you think this is going a little too far? Riot gear and a tank for one guy who MAY be raising roosters for cockfighting? How far is too far for these shows to go in attempt to "entertain"?

[iraqgunz]

Steven "douchenozzle" Seagal purchased a big old fucking house recently up in Scottsdale, AZ and then he got in with Sheriff Joes' posse.

I like Sheriff Joe and he has done a great job in rounding up illegals and trying to control crime. Sometimes there have been some questionable things happening as well. But, this incident with the Seagal is something we really didn't need. I saw an interview with an MCSO spokesperson who stated that there was "credible information" he was a threat, blah, blah, blah but it sounded like damage control to me.

We have enough issues to deal with in AZ and the last thing we need is the Fat Ninja Assassin causing more problems. They did in fact use an old APC when they raided the place and I watched it live on TV. It all smacked of "publicity stunt" gone wrong.

I was just about to post this. What the hell is he doing in Arizona? He's a reserve deputy in New Orleans; that doesn't transfer to another state, does it?

[Guy]

Not only that, but TMZ reports that Llovera’s 11-month-old puppy was apparently shot and killed during the raid, along with over 100 roosters that Seagal and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department thought were being raised for illegal cockfighting.I wouldn't be surprised if, the dog was a pit-bull:rolleyes: however, that's a lot fried chicken gone to waste!:redface::biggrin:

Stay safe.

They had it live on TV? Serious?

Definitely sounds like a publicity stunt gone wrong. Why else would they have it live on TV? Now I think they're trying to cover their collective asses.

[iraqgunz]

I believe it was live or a recording. In any case yes there was footage and it seemed like a capital K- Klusterfuck.
